babynamesI know a family of ten kids. The oldest is about 30 and the youngest is 11. They all have very interesting names. The three most interesting are:
Rhea Joyce
Jubal Li
Amanda Lynn
These are interesting because obviously when you say them out loud they sound like "rejoice," "jubilee," and "A Mandolin". What do you think of these names? Do you like the concept of making words out of first and middle names or do you find it ridiculous?
I think Rhea Joyce is a beautiful name, although I think Rhea sounds incomplete, like it's short for something.
Jubal is a good friend of mine. He is very wacky and the name suits him perfectly, I think the name would seem stupid on anyone but him. He endured much teasing as a child because of his name but his attitude on that is "Meh, it builds character."
Amanda goes by Mandy. I'm not a big fan of the name myself. She got a much less interesting name than the rest of her siblings. I do like the musical reference though.

(*first name changed to protect his privacy) In middle school, he got hell because the kids figured out that when you shortened his middle name, it was Sean Will Dye. And his parents didn't even intend that.

I've been starting to like Amanda lately. Not really...but kinda. Maybe because all of a sudden I've heard of and seen so many nice people called Amanda =P
I usually like the concept of making words or so out of the first and middle name. And I think I'm the only one ;)
